Meet Your Maker

Three gruesome murders in six months, all connected but no leads and the Houston Police Department is under public pressure to find the serial killer. The mystery breaks when an anonymous caller reports a possible burglary and the police accidentally stumble on one of their officers at the scene, Detective Frank Kirkland, smoking gun in his hand, covered in blood and a dead body on the staircase. They found their killer. The Houston DA, realizing it's an election year, takes the case against the detective, and gets his best man, David Springer, to find evidence and strengthen their case. But the well known, and publicly despised, female defense attorney, Trisha Thomas, comes to Detective Kirkland's rescue and tries to save him from prosecution. At the arraignment and bail hearing, she fights for her client's life, though not sure herself of his guilt or innocence. Then, with the help of David Springer, Trisha finds out the shocking truth about her client's past... The lone beam of mid-morning sun warmed her face, forcing her swolleneyes to open. The master bedroom looked barely alive, lit only by the thin light piercing through a tiny slit between the bay window curtains. She lay there but wasn’t sleeping. She couldn’t sleep. She never slept anymore. Just lied in bed, cried, and prayed for darkness. Whenever. Whenever it got too painful. Whenever her broken heart and spirit gave out again. Her bedroom had become an escape for the past two weeks; a flight from her life, her emotions, and everything else. But it didn’t help. She lay there trapped. Her feelings were out of control, running through a mind weary from torturous battles of the soul. Nothing mattered anymore, and it seemed nothing ever would.
